The Eiffel Tower

France is a destination I return to again and again—and one I know deeply. I’ve visited multiple regions across the country, including Paris, Provence, the Riviera, Burgundy, and Bordeaux, to name a few—giving me a strong understanding of both the iconic highlights and the lesser-known gems. Each region offers something different, and I help clients experience the best of it through carefully planned, customized travel that’s elevated, immersive, and entirely stress-free.

Popular Destinations Within France

France offers a wide variety of landscapes and experiences, from vineyard-filled countryside to glamorous coastal towns and iconic cities. Here are some of the most-requested regions I plan:

Paris: Whether it’s your first time or a return trip, I help elevate your experience in the City of Light. That might include private museum tours, curated shopping, market-to-table cooking classes, or simply choosing the right Left Bank hotel with views of the Seine.

Provence: Ideal for those seeking slower travel—lavender fields, vineyard lunches, hilltop villages, and charming boutique hotels. I often pair this region with time in Paris or the Riviera for a balanced trip.

French Riviera: Destinations like St. Tropez, Cannes, Nice, and Antibes combine beautiful coastal views with luxury hotels, beach clubs, and designer shopping. I help clients find the right mix of style and substance, with thoughtful pacing and VIP access.

Normandy: A favorite for families and history lovers. I frequently plan trips that include the D-Day landing beaches, Mont-Saint-Michel, Bayeux, and charming coastal towns—often paired with Paris for an easy and impactful itinerary.

Burgundy & Bordeaux: Two of France’s most renowned wine regions, perfect for food and wine lovers. I arrange private vineyard visits, tastings with local producers, and boutique château stays that make the most of these countryside settings.

Loire Valley & Countryside Escapes: For travelers interested in castles, wine, and countryside charm, I plan stays in historic estates or boutique properties, paired with private guides and tastings.

Giverny & Day Trips from Paris: For clients short on time, I often build in enriching day trips from Paris—like a visit to Monet’s gardens in Giverny or the palaces and parks of Versailles.

Where You’ll Stay

I work with top-tier French hotels and boutique properties across the country, ensuring clients receive:

• Preferred partner perks and upgrades
• Personalized service with VIP recognition
• Accommodations that reflect the style and essence of the region—whether it’s a chic city hotel, countryside château, or seaside resort

From the grandest Parisian addresses to tucked-away Riviera villas, I help you choose the properties that fit your vision and travel style.

What I Love to Include

France is best experienced through its senses—and I love helping clients go beyond the expected with experiences like:

• Private after-hours access to museums or landmarks
• Wine tastings and cellar tours in Bordeaux, Champagne, or Burgundy
• Personal shopping experiences at fashion maisons 
• Perfume blending workshops in Grasse
• Cheese or pastry tasting walks in Paris
• Day trips by train or private driver to the Loire Valley or Mont-Saint-Michel
• Cooking classes and local market tours with French chefs

These are the moments that connect travelers to place—and I help arrange them seamlessly.

How I Help

France is a country of nuance and subtlety—where a great trip comes down to the right mix of pacing, location, and access. I help:

• Build regionally smart routes that make logistical sense
• Choose the best timing based on your travel style and season
• Book trusted private guides, experiences, and transfers
• Secure hotel perks and handle the details that elevate the entire experience

Whether you're after a romantic escape, a family trip, or a wine-and-culture deep dive, I’ll make sure your time in France is as beautiful as it is effortless.
